Chris if the IC has a good non-resonant low pass, then we only need to be resistive up to about 2X Fcut-off for power delivery to the chip. Above that the system can appear inductive for power delivery. There are a lot of chips out there where the internal bypass is resonant and this causes all manner of chaos. We've talked about I/O return currents and don't need to hash that out. Best Regards, Steve.
